Chapter 10: On the Nation, Singing Throughout the World (4)

Ji Da lowered his head and took a sip of the honey grapefruit tea in his hand, he was stunned, there was really the sweetness of honey in it, coupled with the fragrance, sweetness and sourness of the grapefruit, it was very comfortable to drink in the throat, and the ice cubes were mixed in it, even if it was spring, it was delicious to drink. Oh, there seemed to be bubbles in it, Ji Da didn't know what a carbonated drink was, he just felt a long hiccup in his throat, and his heart suddenly became happy, and even the depression of the day seemed to be gone. Ji Da tasted the flavor of the grapefruit tea for a while, and saw the young woman looking at him in surprise.

Ji Da raised his glass embarrassedly, "There's gas in it." ”

The young woman held the cup, and after thinking about it for a while, she was still embarrassed to exchange paper cups with Jida, and she would come back tomorrow to drink. As if to vent his anger, he picked up the paper bag in his hand and opened one of the boxes, which contained bear biscuits. The young woman picked up a piece, sniffed the milky scent on the biscuit, and bit down on the biscuit fiercely. Ji Da looked at the young woman's white teeth with cold light in her mouth, her hands trembled, and the hand that wanted to get a biscuit hurriedly retracted.

A bite of biscuits in the mouth, the mouth is full of butter and milk flavors, crispy biscuits are slowly soft under the action of saliva, at this time with sweet and sour raisins on the field, it is a combination of food that the people of this era can not imagine. The young woman ate the biscuit and savored the taste, as if remembering something, and both of them fell into deep thought, and for a while no one spoke.

After a while, the young woman came back to her senses and looked at Ji Da with a smile, "Old Ji, why don't you eat?"

"No, no, no, it's better for you to eat, I think you like to eat. Jida hurriedly refused.

The young woman's face flushed, "That's embarrassing." But the hand holding the box took it back, "That's right, you men don't like to eat these small snacks, so I'll do it for you, just go back and bring them to Qingqing to eat." ”

Jida refused, "It's okay, let's just come over tomorrow afternoon and get two more." ”

Before the young woman could say something, she heard a crisp little girl's voice from the bushes, "Thank you for coming to our restaurant, and now I will sing a song for you "The Moon Bends in Kyushu", I hope you like it." ”

Jida was still wondering, this restaurant still allows girls to come in and sing? Isn't this a Western-style restaurant?

The young woman's mind is on the title of the song, what an unfamiliar song title, I haven't heard of it. I only heard a sparse applause outside, and then the erhu turned the key, and the girl began to sing, "The moon bends and shines on Kyushu, and a few families have joy and a few sorrows." A few high-rise buildings drink good wine, and a few live on the streets. ”

It turned out to be a Jiangnan minor?!The young woman first reacted to this, and what Jida noticed was that the content of the lyrics actually reflected the lives of ordinary people. This is completely different from the glamorous sounds in the current social song hall, those songs are sung about the love of men and women and the prosperity of the city, talking about drunken gold fans, this song is actually sung by the common people.

"The moon bends and shines on Kyushu, and a few families have joy and a few sorrows. Several husbands and wives were reunited, and several were on the streets. Babbling and having to hey~ The voice is uneven, when will I be able to eliminate the hatred in my heart ~ hate ~ . ”

A simple erhu soundtrack, different from the songs played by the tuba and trumpet, violin and piano in the song and dance hall, the ordinary tune is so straightforward, this is the song that belongs to our people.

Ji Da and the others didn't care about listening to the song, so they quickly stood up, preparing to go around the bushes and find out.

The two of them turned around, and the song over there had already been sung, and the folk tune was not long, about two or three minutes. I saw a half-tall little girl, with a white fox mask on the upper half of her face, revealing two eyes, and bowing to everyone. Many people who came and went also heard the meaning of the song and stayed where they were and applauded.

After the little girl finished singing, she didn't take off her mask or ask for money, but she took a man's hand and jumped on a bicycle, with a little yellow cat squatting in front of the front of the car, and went away.

Ji Da and the others hurriedly grabbed a restaurant waiter and asked, "May I ask if the little girl just now was singing here?"

The waiter said angrily, "This gentleman, that's our boss's sister, and a few afternoons a week I come over with my boss to sing to everyone. ”

"Ah?!" Ji Da never thought about it, but he didn't expect that the person singing in this Western-style restaurant turned out to be the boss's sister.

"May I ask who wrote the song 'The Moon Bends in Kyushu' just now, and why haven't we heard of it?" asked the young woman.

"We don't know about this, the boss's sister likes to sing. The boss asked his sister to come over and sing to the customers of the restaurant in the afternoon. Regardless of whether there are customers or not, there are many people and few people, they all sing here. The waiter replied.

"Can you sing this kind of song?" asked the young woman.

"Why can't you sing it? I think it's better than the songs in the dance halls, and you see, there are students waiting to hear it. The waiter said, pointing to a few people across the street.

Ji Da heard the words and went over, and sure enough, a few people who looked like students, holding a pen in one hand and a notebook in the other, wrote and drew on the notebook with a pen, as if they were recording something, and several people were still discussing it from time to time.

"Will the boss's sister come again tomorrow?" asked the young woman.

"Isn't it windy or rainy, but the boss's sister will come over in the afternoon. I've heard that there will be new songs coming soon. The waiter replied with a smile.

Ji Da and the young woman looked at each other and decided to come here every afternoon in the future, strange bosses, novel ways of selling, delicious desserts and drinks, and beautiful songs, as a propaganda front of the party, to collect good songs and stories from the people for ideological propaganda, it is also very important. The song "The Moon Bends and Shines on Kyushu", which can awaken everyone's inner resonance just now, is obviously a good propaganda song. It can follow the pace of the party's propaganda, spread throughout the country, and win over more suffering masses.

Sure enough, by the time Jida and the young woman arrived at Victoria Park the next day, there were already a dozen students waiting for them with drinks and biscuits. In this era, students have a lot of time, unlike ordinary people who need to support their families. In addition, the animal biscuits and fruit-flavored drinks served by the restaurant are very popular among young people, and the effect of burping after drinking them is really peculiar, and many young students come to visit it.

Sure enough, the little girl with the white fox mask came to the restaurant on time, and only then did Ji Da notice the young man holding the little girl's hand, and several restaurant employees called him boss. Looks like this is the amazing boss.

The man sat on a stool with an erhu in his hand, signaling for the little girl to start singing.

Sure enough, the little girl bowed sweetly to everyone around her, attracting bursts of applause. The little girl said, "Thank you all for coming to support the food at the restaurant, and I will sing a song for you to thank you for your love for the restaurant." ”

"Little sister, we're waiting for you to sing!"

"You sing so well!"

"We never get tired of hearing it!"

Hearing the admiration of the people around her, the little girl was really full of smiles, only to hear the man cough, the little girl quickly stuck out her little tongue in fright, and her face became serious, causing the crowd of onlookers to snicker, the little girl is so cute.

After singing the song "The Moon Bends and Shines on Kyushu", the little girl bowed and thanked again, "Today, I also brought you a new song called "Song of the Four Seasons", dedicated to everyone, I hope you like it." ”

Oh, there's a new song, and Jida and the young woman hurriedly concentrated, and the crowd that had been about to disperse returned, ready to enjoy the little girl's new song, which was another song that I had never heard before.

Sure enough, the cloth-clothed man sitting on the stool raised his hand and pulled a prelude, and it was Jiangnan Minor?

"When spring comes, the window is full of green, and the big girl embroiders mandarin ducks under the window, and suddenly there is a ruthless rod, and the mandarin ducks are beaten to one side. When summer comes, the willow silk is long, the eldest girl drifts to the Yangtze River, and the scenery in the south and north of the Yangtze River is good. ”

The tactful minor key, as soon as he opened his mouth, attracted everyone present, simple and easy to understand, catchy, this is the song of the Chinese nation!

"Autumn comes with the fragrance of lotus flowers, the eldest girl dreams of her hometown every night, wakes up and doesn't see her father's face, only the bright moonlight in front of the window. When the winter comes, the snow is boundless, the winter clothes are ready to send the lover, the flesh and blood build the Great Wall, and Nong is willing to be the little Meng Jiang of the year. ”

Songs of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression! In this environment of warlords fighting and foreign enemies eyeing each other, some people dare to sing songs of the War of Resistance!

In just two paragraphs of Jiangnan Minor, the little girl repeated it twice and it was over, in exchange for everyone's silence. No, this is not silence, it is the magma flowing underground, it is the stratus clouds before the storm, this is the accumulation of the national cry, it is the indomitable soul of the nation, and it is the expectation of thousands of Chinese people, the Republic of China wants to be reunified, and the Republic of China wants to be self-reliant!

The little girl took the man's hand and went away, but the crowd could not leave for a long time, and in this afternoon, everyone who heard this song shouted in their hearts: Victory! We have longed for victory, and the nation has longed for victory for too long, too long!

This is a strange person?! He dared to sing such a song in the concession, didn't he know that this was the world of warlords?
